The next time you watch a movie, pay attention to the shots used to tell a story. Photography is storytelling as well, and we can tell stories in much the same way. When we are out taking photographs, using the “wide-medium-close” sequence is one way we can create a “photo essay” or series of photos […]
The Fujifilm X100V just may be my favorite camera of all time. It’s small, compact and can go almost everywhere with me. The X-E4 is almost as small, but can use different lenses. I think there’s room for both, so I took them along with me for a photo adventure in Nebraska. Nebraska is full […]
We purchase cameras for many reasons. Sometimes it’s because we need more megapixels to fulfill a job requirement. Other times it’s because our old cameras just can’t keep up with us any longer, and the lure of new technology makes sense.

And of course, I still get creative block. I […]
I’ve lived in Nebraska my entire life, going on 45 years now. Nebraska is situated right in the middle of America, and there was a portion of my life when I wanted so badly to move out of the Midwest and get to one of the coasts. I thought Nebraska was nothing but a vast, […]
